Dave Epp at the Agriculture and Agri-Food Committee

I'm going to start my questions with Mr. McCann.

I was intrigued by your comment that you often feel there's an ecosystem in Canada where all players are involved. How would you envision that ecosystem fleshing out the research angles of esoteric or fundamental—whatever term you want to use—versus applied? How would the different responsibilities from the different players apply differently to those two lines of research?
